“Okay, I understand that the sighting’s been confirmed. So what exactly are you asking us to do, Master?” Phelps asked.

“Right. I want the Crimson Sword and White Brigade to go down into the dungeon and check whether or not another Great Tidal Bore is comin’.”

Everyone in the room went tense at the mention of the words “Great Tidal Bore.” The Great Tidal Bore was a phenomenon that occurred once every few years in Lune’s dungeon when the monster population exploded. Monsters that should have existed only in the deeper layers beginning to appear in the upper ones was a portent of a Great Tidal Bore.

There were some normal instances of lower-layer monsters appearing on the upper layers. For example, the soldier ants on the first layer likely dug shafts up to the first layer from below. This explained why the first sighting of soldier ants in Layer 1 had been reported six months ago but was not considered a harbinger of a Great Tidal Bore.

A goblin archer, however, was a different story. Although they were supposed to be in Layers 10 and deeper, one had been discovered in Layer 5. making it extremely like that this was in fact a Great Tidal Bore omen.

Moreover, ten years had passed since the last Great Tidal Bore, so they were long overdue for one to occur.

“I’ll pay ya a hundred gold coins upfront and two hundred each after ya come back.”

“GuilMas, just making sure here. All we have to do is check whether or not there’s an outbreak, right?” Abel said, repeating the job description.

“Yea, got it in one.”

“And if there is an outbreak?” Phelps asked. He wanted to confirm how they should proceed in that event.

“Ya haul yer asses back to the surface pronto and report to me. I’ll be at the branch office waitin’ for ya all. If this is another Great Tidal Bore, the plan is to abandon the dungeon’s entrance and intercept the monsters on the surface by containin’ ‘em within the double wall. The guild’s gonna work together with the margrave’s knights. I already told him about this commission I’m sendin’ all of ya on and the counterattack plan too.”

Everyone’s nerves ratcheted up another notch upon hearing that. Hugh informing the lord of the region about his strategy meant he was already certain about a Great Tidal Bore. There was no other conclusion to draw from his words.

“I need ya all to head into the dungeon tomorrow morning. I got a bad feelin’ I’ll have to ask all the adventurers still in the city to be on standby at the guild the day after tomorrow. We already put up a flier on the guild’s notice board that dungeon dives are a no-go startin’ tomorrow. ‘Course, the branch office near the dungeon’s been notified too and they’ll be ready to stop anyone from going down tomorrow.”

Hugh had made all the moves he could. The fierce-looking giant may have seemed like a meathead inside and out, but appearances could be deceiving.
